KCNQ1 gain-of-function mutation in familial atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: Functional analysis of the S140G mutant revealed a gain-of-function effect on the KCNQ1/KCNE1 and theKCNQ 1/ KCNE2 currents, which contrasts with the dominant negative or loss-of -function effects of the KCnQ1 mutations previously identified in patients with long QT syndrome.
Journal Article

Mutations in Kir2.1 cause the developmental and episodic electrical phenotypes of Andersen's Syndrome

TL;DR: Findings suggest that Kir2.1 plays an important role in developmental signaling in addition to its previously recognized function in controlling cell excitability in skeletal muscle and heart.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional and clinical characterization of KCNJ2 mutations associated with LQT7 (Andersen syndrome)

TL;DR: The functional consequences of three novel and seven previously described KCNJ2 mutations using a two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique and correlated the findings with the clinical phenotype suggest that the substrate for arrhythmia susceptibility in AS is distinct from the other forms of inherited LQT syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a KCNE2 Gain-of-Function Mutation in Patients with Familial Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: The evaluation of 28 unrelated Chinese kindreds with AF found an arginine-to-cysteine mutation at position 27 (R27C) of KCNE2, the beta subunit of the KCNQ1-KCNE2 channel responsible for a background potassium current, is a gain-of-function mutation associated with the initiation and/or maintenance of AF.
